If you’re aiming to get comfortable with managing both airspeed and altitude in flight, you’ll need to understand the difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS). Key Takeaways Airspeed and altitude are directly linked to each other throughout different phases of your flight.

The student pilot may initially struggle to understand the functions of an E6B flight computer. But pilots around the globe rely on this indispensable gadget for charting their flights, crunching numbers to determine time in transit, fuel usage, and necessary adjustments for wind shifts. Thats your true airspeed.

This means that if you encounter these conditions on a particular day, you would need to achieve a higher true airspeed to produce the same lift that would be generated at lower airspeeds in denser air. Flight Computers Flight computers such as the E6B have the functionality to calculate density altitude.
